In contrast to academic/fellowship grant applications, applying for translational research and innovation grants is all about pitching the end vision and convincing funders that you know what it takes to get there: What is the unmet clinical need? How will you meet this need? What are the project milestones and how much will it cost? For many, the first step to pitching this vision is a written application.
Participants will be able to:
- Recognise the important elements of a translational research/innovation grant application.
- Recognise how to identify the risks of the projects and outline how they will be managed.
- Explain how to strategically apply for funding based on the maturity of one's project and how to link this with one's project milestones.
- Describe how to protect intellectual property when submitting a funding application.
- Recognise how to simplify one's message and edit one's ideas for a specific funding call.
- Recognise how to improve the likelihood of success by ensuring one's application is understood and makes a good impression.
- Identify where to find support at UCL.
